Prose Jintan Village and Man's "Destiny"

Prose? "Jintan Village" and Man's "Destiny"

? With the popularity of TV series "Ning Min Town". Jin Tan Village, Suining Town, Yongning County, Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region has become a popular scenic spot. Yinchuan is about 40 minutes' drive southwest. It's not far from the "Xixia Tomb Site" scenic spot. "Jin Tan Village" is located on the vast Gobi Desert, which was specially built for Ningmin Town in two months. But all the way into the village, I saw some courtyards seem to be inhabited and have a little breath of life. This makes "Jintan Village" not only a former TV drama shooting place, but also a "living" tourist attraction-which is different from another town, Beibao Film and Television Base. The pattern of residential houses in the village is roughly the same: flat-topped brick houses. Every yard. Doors and windows are not painted, which highlights the color of fabric curtains. Some yards are piled with farm tools or daily necessities, and occasionally small animals run around.

? Visited the "Hong Zhao Peasant Culture Courtyard". Its owner once played the role of mass in Ningmin Town. There is a performance place like a small theater in the yard: several square tables and benches. The stage and scenery are in front. The chubby little commentator said that this is the place where Shaanxi Opera is staged on weekdays. The surrounding villagers come here for parties regularly. People here like Shaanxi opera. I'm a little confused. I asked her, isn't Shaanxi Shaanxi characteristic? People in Ningxia want to sing "Flowers". The old man who accompanied the tour explained that the "flower party" was more elegant and not many people would attend. Not popular. Or the popular Shaanxi opera is loved by the villagers.

? There are large glass cabinets on both sides of the performance venue. The cabinets display the farmers' previous life and production equipment. These are collected from the people and used as props in Ningmin Town. After the TV series was finished, it was unified into the "Hong Zhao Peasant Culture Courtyard". It was originally on display. But some are spoiled by tourists. In order to keep the creativity and local peasant culture, the owner put it in a glass cabinet. So that tourists can only watch from a distance and can't play. Perhaps judging from our tourists from the city, these things are the most common. Even rough and vulgar. However, we can understand the master's efforts to protect himself. He kept not only the tools he had, but the memories of the hard life in the past-after all, in the pioneering era, many things were hard-won; It also means cherishing the present and looking forward to the future.

? The little commentator said that she was a second-generation immigrant from Xihaigu, Ningxia. When his father and villagers first came here from Diaozhuang, Xihaigu's hometown, it was like the land in Ningmin Town. In the vast Gobi, everyone starts from scratch. They can endure strong winds, water shortage, drought and barren land, after all, so is their hometown "Xihaigu". However, houses need to be rebuilt and land needs to be rearranged. Everything has to start from scratch. Before the house was built, people lived in a pit. The little commentator showed us around. The so-called "pit" is to dig a hole down on the flat ground. Press the roof again, flush with the surrounding land. Access ramp. The more you look, the more it looks like an ancient tomb; The land allocated to each family should be taken care of again. Only by removing the stones from the ground and sifting out the slightly finer soil can the land keep moisture and plant live crops. The main crops produced in the field are drought-tolerant crops such as potatoes. So immigrants have only one kind of food. Two or three potatoes a day. Everyone made up a jingle saying, "Cook potatoes in the morning, bake potatoes at noon, and bake potatoes at night". Although immigrants left their ancestors' lives and businesses in Xihaigu. However, for the development of family descendants, he resolutely came to Yongning County near Yinchuan. This is not only a vision, but also a kind of courage. The little commentator was glad that his parents had taken the first step of emigration. She believes that with the national counterpart support policy and the efforts of the villagers, their lives will get better and better.

? The little commentator told many stories about himself and his grandparents. This is what tourists like to hear. It's better than boring tour guide words. We feel the different lives and emotions of people thousands of miles away. I was deeply impressed by the optimism of the villagers in Jintan Village and emotional contagion, who is full of longing for the future. We city people are used to our living environment, but there is always resentment. Compare their lives, how big the gap is, and how big the gap between our spiritual realms is!

? People in Jintan Village live in a better era. This is the luck of ordinary people. However, it is not a person's choice to live in what era. This reminds me of a true story I heard many years ago. The background of this story also took place in Yongning County, Ningxia, a barren and backward place. About fifty years ago ...

? 1966 After the "W Revolution" began, middle school students all over the country, both junior high school students and senior high school students, listened to the government's call to "suspend classes and make revolution" and set up "H Guardian" organizations one after another. Take to the streets to "break capitalism" and crack down on "bad guys". Everyone has a youthful mission and lofty beliefs. This is the most high-spirited and indulgent time in their lives. Soon after, the nationwide "big series" movement surged again. It lasted for more than a year. To this end, China's traffic, people's livelihood, economy and many other aspects have appeared serious problems. This country is on the verge of collapse. These teenage middle school students are full of energy and enthusiasm. Two sports are out of control. The government is aware of the danger. In order to change the chaotic situation in some big cities, the government decided to transfer these middle school students out of their cities. Therefore, the country subsequently launched the "educated youth movement to the countryside". These middle school students, who were originally called "H Guardian", have a new name-"Educated Youth". Because they were all middle school students in 1966, 1967 and 1968, they were later called "Grade Three". No matter "H Guardian", "Intellectual Youth" or "Old Third Session", they are all the same people.

? 1968, the "Going to the Countryside Movement" was started, aiming to let the middle school students who grew up in these cities go to the poor and backward inland areas to accept the ideological transformation of "poor and lower middle peasants". Yongning County, a suburb of Yinchuan, Ningxia, received hundreds of educated youths from Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

? Among these educated youths who went to Yongning to receive the re-education of "poor and middle peasants", there were two male and female middle school students from different schools in Hangzhou. They met in a bitter and cold place thousands of miles away from home. Two young and lonely hearts collide. Soon they started a relationship full of good memories.

? Unexpectedly, a sudden disaster broke the pure spiritual world of the young couple.

? Although Yongning is not far from Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia. However, judging from the present natural environment, Yongning's environment must be worse. And how do middle school students in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River adapt? It is difficult for children who have grown up in the West Lake to drink water here. Children love to be clean and wash them every day. In the eyes of local villagers, this is simply a waste of time. Water is the lifeblood of villagers. There is not enough drinking water for people and livestock and irrigation for farmland on weekdays. And these southern babies are actually used to wash their hair and feet. To this end, Hangzhou educated youth and local villagers complained bitterly.

? Educated youth can't adapt to the present living conditions and natural environment. Their real existence is far from the propaganda and imagination before they came. When I first arrived in Yongning, hundreds of educated youths were assigned to farmers' homes in various villages. Some villagers have better conditions at home, and several educated youths sleep in a kang; Poor conditions, educated youth can only sleep in the "pit". Accommodation is not a big problem. After all, they are all babies. Tired during the day, you can sleep next to the bed at night. However, the unaccustomed to food and drinking water makes the educated youth resentful. Although the educated youth have made subjective efforts to transform their spiritual realm and living habits. The villagers also tried their best to help the dolls. However, the huge gap in reality cannot be bridged in a short time.

There are deeper reasons. There is nothing both sides can do. A national sport cannot be achieved by a great man with a wave of his hand. The actual situation in different parts of China is different, and the effect of sports development is also different. Just like Yongning, the natural environment is bad. Nothing grows in the field. Farmers' own rations are also a problem. But hundreds of mouths came at once, trying to eat up the limited output of this land together. Besides, these newly educated youths don't know how to farm. Four bodies are not diligent, and the grain is not divided. Not only can they not help local agricultural production, farmers have to work hard to help them learn agricultural production. It's really thankless. In the eyes of farmers, these dolls are simply to make trouble. Maybe farmers will report the situation to cadres. But at that time, which cadre dared to raise objections to the orders issued by the central authorities? Once labeled as "disrupting the movement to the countryside", it is no joke. This led to the failure of the next situation. Cadres either avoid talking about practical difficulties, or hide them, or make minor repairs. Therefore, the following problems are piling up. The contradiction between villagers and educated youth accumulated more and more, which led to the final intensification.

? Finally, there was a "big fight" in Yongning, which can be recorded in the history of the country. Yongning farmers and Hangzhou educated youth are both sides of the conflict. How can a middle school student who is light in wind and light in clouds be an opponent of a farmer who lives by physical strength? The final result must be the collapse of educated youth in Hangzhou.

? The two middle school students who are in love mentioned above are also involved in this dispute. Girls and classmates fled to Yinchuan. After arriving in Yinchuan, the students dispersed. Finally, the girl ended up on the streets of Yinchuan alone. Fortunately, she quickly got help from a local young man who was driving a bus in Yinchuan. Girls sell tickets on the bus. With gratitude, she married a kind bus driver a few years later. They gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. Live a quiet and stable life.

? Besides, that boy. Before the battle, he fled Yongning for other reasons. Hearing the news of the fight, he ventured back to the place where Yongning lovers cut in line. But I can't find her. He thinks everyone will eventually go back to Hangzhou. He doesn't know the exact direction of Hangzhou. He had to go all the way south. When he found the railway, he walked south along it.

? When the boy escaped from Yongning for the first time, all his personal belongings in the villagers' home were not brought out. There is not much money left on him. But in those days, money was not enough. Without food stamps, you still can't buy food. He looked for food from the garbage, or begged and lived a vagrant life. There is only one thought in his heart-going back to his hometown of Hangzhou.

? On his way home, the boy met a man who was also a tramp. The man told the boy not to go back to Hangzhou. Because, when he jumped the queue to Ningxia, the registered permanent residence had been moved from Hangzhou to the place where he settled in the queue. The boy doesn't have a Hangzhou hukou. No hukou means no relationship between grain and oil. Boys can't get anything that the state rationed to Hangzhou residents. Even if I go back to my hometown in Hangzhou, how can I live? Besides, such a big thing happened in Yongning County. I must have informed Hangzhou. Educated youth is a fugitive. As soon as I got home, the police came to arrest people. We have to send the children back to Yongning. Not only continue to transform, but also strictly manage. Life is harder than before.

? The tramp advised the boy that it was better to go to Northeast Heilongjiang with him. Because, he heard that there are a group of people with the same fate living in the depths of Daxinganling. People who can't go home for various reasons. Life there is relatively safe. After all, mountainous areas produce something edible and usable.

? Under the guidance of the tramp, the boy followed him all the way to Daxinganling. Boys did meet a group of people who were eliminated by society in those years, some were "anti-G students", some were "landlords", some were "spies" and so on. Many people there spend their spare time writing letters of complaint besides doing some work necessary for survival every day. The boys lived there for several years. Although he survived. However, the hard life and rough experience made his nerves go wrong. He is sometimes awake and sometimes confused. When awake, it is no different from normal people; Confused thinking, nonsense when confused. He put aluminum pot upside down on his head, saying that others would not be able to measure his brain waves, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

? In the late 1970s, the government set things right. This group of people in the depths of Daxinganling got the good news. Everyone walked out of the mountain and went home. The boy also returned to Hangzhou. But when I returned to my home in Hangzhou. He found that both his parents had died. His eldest brother, the only relative in the family, is married and has children. Eldest brother thought his long-lost brother had died in a foreign land. So, I got rid of my brother's personal belongings before. When the boy suddenly appeared at home. His eldest brother is more afraid than he is. The boy managed to live in his eldest brother's house. In addition to constantly going to the police station for settlement procedures and odd jobs to make a living, he is still asking about the whereabouts of educated youth's girlfriend.

? In the 1980s, information and transportation became more and more convenient. The boy inquired about the whereabouts of his girlfriend from the educated youth who came back from Ningxia. I learned that she married a bus driver, got married in Yinchuan and had children. The boy stubbornly wants to go to Yinchuan to find her. Everyone realized that he was mentally ill and tried to stop him and persuade him to give up. But in the end, I had to let him go.

? The boy came to Ningxia alone again. He finally found the girl in Yinchuan. At that time, she was the mother of two children Besides, these two children are old enough to understand. At the beginning, lovers met again and told each other their hearts. The two talked about their experiences after being dispersed. After listening to the boy's story, the girl burst into tears and was deeply touched. They lived in the same room that night. Girls know that although boys are over thirty, they are still virgins. After a few days of communication, the feelings of the two men warmed up sharply.

? Under the strong impulse, the girl filed a divorce with her husband. The simple northwest man really can't figure out what he did wrong, and his wife asked for a divorce so decisively. Even if the husband uses violence or kneels down to beg. I failed to keep my wife. The girl stubbornly divorced. The boy was left to her husband, and she returned to Hangzhou with the girl and her lover.

? At this point, all's well that ends well. Traditional love stories will have a happy ending. However, the creator of reality is doing everything possible to play tricks on people.

? The two lovers got married immediately after they returned to Hangzhou. They took their daughter out of their eldest brother's house and lived in another house. But the enthusiasm of the newlyweds didn't last long. The boy's mental illness recurred. He beats and scolds his wife from time to time. Said she was a spy and a bad guy. My miserable life is caused by my wife. He often makes trouble, leaving the house in a mess, and the neighbors are complaining. His wife and daughter live in fear and depression.

? Besides, after girls return to Hangzhou, life is no better than Yinchuan. The so-called "educated youth" actually has no knowledge and has not even finished middle school. She is in Yinchuan and has been selling tickets in the car. You can only find a similar ticketing job in Hangzhou. But often, her husband goes to her unit to make trouble. Said a male colleague was having an affair with his wife. As a result, girls can't work in a unit for a long time, so they can only change jobs frequently and even lose their jobs. This is even worse for their already poor life. The last two people really can't go on. The girl divorced her daughter again and moved away.

They all died many years ago. The boy became a lonely old man and died of illness and loneliness. Before he died, he had deep remorse and guilt for his wife; The girl finally turned into an old lady. But fortunately, she was accompanied by her daughter before she died. But her daughter, because of her mother's two divorces, has brought her lifelong irreparable mental trauma.

? In this true story, there is not a bad person. They are all good people. But everyone is so unlucky. If this story can be written into a novel, it will be a masterpiece. I like Mo Yan's Fatigue of Life and Death and Lu Yao's Ordinary World. They express the same theme: a group of good people live in tragedy. These people are right, not the fault of kindness. They are in the wrong time.

? Now, like the villagers in Jintan village, we are fortunate to live in a better era. We hope that this "new era" can continue healthily for a long time. Let people's tragedies never happen again. Let good people live in comedy.
